LThe NBA lived a historic night again because of Trae Young (46 points and 93 in just 48 hours), Stephen Curry (47 to celebrate his 34th birthday) and, above all, for Karl-Anthony Townswho signed the highest score of the season with his 60 points against the San Antonio Spurs, a personal record in his NBA career.
Between the three players they scored 153 points in the first night since December 13, 1983 in which three players scored more than 45 points in the same day. then they made it Kiki Vandeweghe, Alex English e Isiah Thomas and on this occasion the record has fallen on three gamers who have tripled their way of life.
Especially a Karl-Anthony Towns who continues to claim the throne for himself as “the best ‘tall man’ shooter in history”. A crown that was already won just a month ago when he conquered the NBA triple contest and that tonight he has achieved again with a performance for history.
The player of Dominican origin, always accompanied by his imaginary friend ‘Karlito’became the first pvot to score 60 points in a game since Shaquille O’Neal in the year 2,000. Towns, who ended the game with a 19 of 31 in field goals and seven of 11 from the tripleanot 32 points in the third set being the fourth best mark in a room in the last 25 years.
Records and records that end up elevating a player who has been the cornerstone on which the Wolves have wanted to rebuild the franchise and who has now seen how the foundations were laid to start thinking about other types of goals. With Towns at the helm, they know that it is possible and that the times of mud and mud may already be history in a team little given to conjugate the verb to win.
How long is LeBron James going to put up with making a fool of himself almost daily in the Lakers? After being overwhelmed by the Nuggets in the last game receiving 48 points in a quarter, against the Raptors they once again gave a bad image in a first quarter to be forgotten in which the Los Angeles team only scored 12 points and in which they failed the 13 attempts from the triple. To cry.
We were left without a Spanish duel in Salt Lake City in the duel between the Utah Jazz and the Milwaukee Bucks. A clash in which Juancho Hernangmez once again ran out of playing time due to a technical decision and in which I know Serge Ibaka was involved. The pvot of Congolese origin came off the bench to contribute two points and four rebounds in the seven minutes he was on the court.
